AUSTRIA. Taler, ND (1541-42). Joachimsthal Mint. Ferdinand I, as King of the Romans. PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield.
Dav-8039. An intensely attractive and alluring example of this type from the mint which gave birth to the 'Taler' name (and, by extension, the 'Dollar'). Only some light striking weakness and very minor wear, with a great peripheral iridescence and original brilliance emanating from the protected areas.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
